Elastic Energy Driven Polymerization [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2009
We present a molecular system where polymerization is controlled externally by tuning the elastic energy of the monomers. The elastic energy, provided by a DNA molecular spring, destabilizes the monomer state through a process analogous to domain swapping. This energy can be large (of approximately 10 kT) and thus drive polymerization at relatively low

A variational model for conformation of graphene wrinkles formed on a shrinking solid metal substrate

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2020
Chemical vapor deposition is a popular technique for producing high-quality graphene sheets on a substrate. However, the cooling process causes the graphene sheet to experience a strain-induced, out-of-plane buckling.

Energy-Minimizing Microstructures in Multiphase Elastic Solids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This thesis concerns problems of microstructure and its macroscopic consequences in multiphase elastic solids, both single crystals and polycrystals. The elastic energy of a two-phase solid is a function of its microstructure.

Contribution of Stretch-Induced Force Enhancement to Increased Performance in Maximal Voluntary and Submaximal Artificially Activated Stretch-Shortening Muscle Action

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
In everyday muscle action or exercises, a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is performed under different levels of intensity. Thereby, compared to a pure shortening contraction, the shortening phase in a SSC shows increased force, work, and power.

Elastic model for dinucleosome structure and energy [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2016
The equilibrium structure of a Dinucleosome is studied using an elastic model that takes into account the force and torque balance conditions. Using the proper boundary conditions, it is found that the conformational energy of the problem does not depend on the length of the linker DNA.
